Great Qin Emperor

Chapter 410 The Gathering of Heroes (Part [-])

"Father, the talents recommended by my sons and ministers are capable of governing the country with literature, and can rule the country with martial arts. They have all the talents of civil and military." Fu Su valued Xiao He and Han Xin very much.

Knowing the son is more like the father, Qin Shihuang knew that although Fusu was young, Fusu's talent was definitely not low. He valued them so much, which showed that these people were very talented, and his interest became stronger. He said, "Hurry up and talk about it."

Fu Su responded, and said: "When it comes to governing the country, Xiao He is the first to be recommended. This man is shrewd and capable, proficient in the law, and decisive in making decisions."

"Compared to Li Si?" Qin Shihuang asked.

Fusu didn't even think about it, and said: "Father, my son thinks that Xiao Hezhi is not inferior to Li Si, even if he is not much better than Yiwu." Yiwu is Guan Zhong's name.

"There are such talents in this world?" Qin Shihuang couldn't believe it.

Xiao He in history would have definitely gone to Xianyang if he hadn’t seen the political turmoil in the Qin Dynasty. Naturally, it would not be a problem for him to be reused with his talents. When history repeats, he finally got this opportunity.

Fusu nodded and said: "Father, what my son said is true. Father can ask questions in person."

"Okay, okay!" Qin Shihuang was very happy, and said: "Let's talk about the others."

Fusu went on to say: "Cao Shen's talent is also extraordinary, not as good as Xiao He's, but this man is virtuous and abiding by the law, he can be called a model." The famous Cao Shen knew that his talents were not as good as Xiao He's, so he kept Xiao He's method without making any changes, and made the historical story "Xiao Gui Cao Sui".

Qin Shihuang nodded, and said: "The two ministers who govern the country, good! Mr. Zhou wants the father to be a civil official and retire the meritorious officials. The father has not found a suitable candidate. It seems that this plan can be realized." The implication is very I understand that it is only a matter of time before Li Si's aspect is dismissed.

Fusu bowed to Qin Shihuang and said, "Father, my son dares to ask you to allow one thing."

"Say it, tell it." Qin Shihuang encouraged Fusu and said, "We are father and son, we should talk about everything, don't make us feel like a monarch and his ministers, it will hurt the heart of the emperor."

Fusu said: "I thank my father for your kindness. My father, my son has the courage to take in a personal bodyguard, Fan Kuai. Fan Kui is loyal and skilled in martial arts, but there is one bad thing, that is, he was born as a butcher who slaughtered pigs and dogs."

"What's the matter with the butcher?" Qin Shihuang didn't care at all, and said: "Heroes don't ask where they come from, it's always been the case since ancient times. Yi Yin's concubine, Fu Shuoju Yubanzhu, Baili Fanniu, you all know these things. Besides, in this dynasty, Li Siyi was settled. Scholar, Mr. Zhou is a family member, Han Fei is from an enemy country, Li Mu is a general, isn’t his father and emperor still using him? As long as he has talent, as long as he has virtue, only he is useful to Daqin, don’t care about his background, just use it .”

Fusu said very happily: "Thank you for your teaching."

Qin Shihuang waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, is there anyone else? According to you, Fan Kuai is just a bodyguard. How can he be the one who decides the state? Could it be that there are others?"

"Father is a holy man!" Fusu said happily, "I have the courage to recommend to father a great general who will fight against the barbarians. From the perspective of my son, this person has the ambition to reach the sky and has the talent of Sun Wu. He is really a must. Many good generals."

Qin Shihuang leaned forward and asked enthusiastically, "Who is he?"

"Han Xin!" Fusu said briefly.

Qin Shihuang said: "Han Xin? Father thinks he knows the Great Qin very well, but he has never heard of this person. Father is ashamed. How is his talent compared to Wang Jianmengwu?"

Fu Su thought for a while, and said: "Father, in the opinion of my son, Han Xin's talent is probably higher than that of Wang Jian. General Wang Jian is highly respected, and he has a deep understanding of the military. General Wang may not be as good as Han Xin. Apart from being proficient in military art, Han Xin is also proficient in military law, which is beyond the reach of General Wang.”

After the establishment of the Western Han Dynasty, Han Xin's application of military law became a model for the military law of the Han Dynasty, which had a far-reaching influence. This can be said to hit the point.

Qin Shihuang nodded and said: "A general who is good at fighting is of course remarkable, and he can establish immortal merit. But if he can affirm military law, then it will be even more extraordinary. This is the merit of all generations. It seems that Han Xin is extremely outstanding."

Fusu changed the subject and said, "Father, Han Xin has something to say, I don't know if I should talk about it or not."

"Tell me, what are his weaknesses?" Qin Shihuang became more interested, and said: "No one is perfect, and heroes also have shortcomings. This is normal. As long as the great cause is not endangered, there is nothing strange about it."

Fusu responded, "Han Xin liked military art since he was a child, but he was not good at making a living. The neighbors all looked down on him. He often had no food to eat. One day, he was walking on the street when a hooligan stopped him and pointed at him. "You Han Xin, who wears a sword and carries a sword, is only tall and tall. If you have the ability to stab me with a sword, if you don't have the guts, you can slip through my crotch.""

Qin Shihuang's eyes flashed, and said: "Father guessed that Han Xin got into his crotch, right?"

Fusu was very surprised and said: "Father is holy! How did father know? Could it be that father has heard of Han Xin?"

Qin Shihuang shook his head and said: "That's not true, the father guessed. You said that Han Xin has a shortcoming, the father wants that if he really stabs someone with a sword, he will not be a shortcoming. He got into the crotch of others That's the shortcoming."

If this kind of thing hadn't been clearly written in the history, no one could have imagined it, but Qin Shihuang could guess it right away. Fusu admired his insight and said, "Father is holy! Han Xin has this shortcoming, but he His talents are extraordinary, and I ask Father to spare talents and reuse them."

Qin Shihuang didn't speak immediately, looked at Fusu and said, "Fusu, you like talents, and you are thirsty for talents. It depends on whether his mind is right or not, if his mind is not right, even if Sun Wu is reborn, he cannot use it."

Fusu hesitated and said, "Father means that Han Xinxin's skills are not correct? I don't think so."

Qin Shihuang patted Fusu on the shoulder and said, "Fusu, Fusu, you still don't understand these things. It's not right to say that Han Xin's intentions are not right, but you just think about changing someone. The crotch? At most, it’s just a fight, let the little rascal know how powerful he is, but he got into it, as if nothing happened, what does this mean?”

Fu Su was a little confused, and said: "Please give instructions, Father."

"This shows that Han Xin's heart is unfathomable!" Qin Shihuang gave the answer: "This man has the ambition to reach the sky and has the talent of Sun Wu, but his heart is unpredictable. It is nothing before he has made great achievements. Once he has made great achievements, he will be arrogant. , take credit and be proud, for fear of unforeseen disasters."

These words are too true for Han Xin's disposition. After Han Xin made great achievements, he walked on the road of rebellion step by step.For us modern people, this is nothing, but for emperors, this is the most intolerable.

Fusu thought for a while before he understood, and said: "Mr. Zhou should understand this matter, why didn't he say it?"

Qin Shihuang chuckled and said, "Of course he wouldn't say it. Do you know the reason?"

Fu Su shook his head and said: "I don't understand, please ask Father to clarify."

Qin Shihuang smiled and said: "The reason is very simple. It is because Mr. Zhou knows that Han Xin can only bow his head and stick to his ears in front of his father's emperor's mind. He would not dare to mess around with his courage."

There is a lot of truth in this statement, and it is not a word of arrogance.We can assume that if Liu Bang's ability to fight with troops surpasses that of Han Xin, or can be compared with Han Xin, Han Xin will not dare to be arrogant, let alone say "Han Xin's soldiers, the more the better".

We all know that Liu Bang was born as a gangster, without moral integrity, it is even worse to fight, and he is always defeated by Xiang Yu. His greatest skills are two: one is to be able to employ people. , beyond human power."The second is that he can reward and punish him, and he has done a good job.

Qin Shihuang was different. He was a man of great stamina, bold, wise, and insightful. He could command thousands of troops to conquer the world when he got on his horse, and rule the country when he got off his horse. Everyone should be convinced of this kind of person.Coupled with the abundance of talents around him, Han Xin is certainly good, but Wei Liao, Zhou Chong, Wang Jian, Meng Wu, Li Mu, Meng Tian, ​​and Zhang Liang are no worse than him. The emperor's mind is good at controlling all kinds of talents. Even if Han Xin gets upset, he doesn't have the courage.

Fusu suddenly said: "So that's how it is. My father is a sage, and my sons should take my father as their teacher and practice the king's art."

Qin Shihuang said with relief: "The art of the emperor, you have to experience it yourself. One of them is very important. For the courtiers, it is not only to use kindness, but also to use power, and it is not only to use kindness and power together, but It is to attack his heart, let him always remember that I am watching him, and his every move cannot escape my eyes, so he will naturally be afraid."

"Thank you for your teaching!" Fu Su was taught, and said, "Father, what should Han Xin do?"

Qin Shihuang smiled and said: "What else can I do, of course let him go to fight the Huns. However, before fighting the Huns, the father wants to see him and let him know that the father is watching him."

Fusu's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What will father do?"

Qin Shihuang said plainly: "You call him here, just watch him, father will make him awe-inspiring. Is there anyone else?"

Fu Su blurted out: "Yes, Yu Ziqi is good at making weapons. The weapons he makes are very sharp and durable, so Erchen also brought him back to Xianyang. However, this man is still good at martial arts and knows how to fight. , how to deal with it, please show my father."

Qin Shihuang chuckled and said: "What a versatile man. According to my father, Yu Ziqi's weapon making is just a means of sustaining his life. The art of warfare is the right profession. What can we do with it? Of course, let him fight the Huns. You Go and invite Mr. Zhou and these talents, and my father, go and invite Mr. Han Feiliao's wife, Wang Jian Mengwu, and the others to discuss it."

Fu Su responded, Shi Li retreated.
